“Yesterday I witnessed something that took my breath away.
I heard a sound at the window of the cottage
When I looked, a cedar waxwing had hit the window and fallen to the deck.
It’s mate stood beside it.
It was clear that the fallen bird was dead.
I turned away for a moment and when I looked again, it’s mate had hopped over.
It lay down beside its partner, their heads touching. It closed its eyes and passed over to Spirit with its mate.
The sadness and beauty of the moment was such a privilege to witness.
If anyone has ever doubted that animals feel emotion and love, this moment was absolute proof of both.
Nature truly has much to teach us.”
